From anatomical position, perform opposition by rotating the thumb medially so that it touches the little finger. To demonstrate the importance of thumb opposition, grasp a plastic bottle as you normally would. Now, put the bottle down and grasp it again without using your thumb. Compare the two actions describing how effectively you were able to hold the bottle.

A neuron is poisoned with a chemical, which is an inhibitor of the Na+-K+ ATPase. Explain what would happen to the resting membrane potential (RMP) of the cell (will it depolarize, hyperpolarize or remain the same). In your answer,

a.)identify the three factors that determine RMP in a neuron,

b.) identify whether each factor causes membrane potential to be more or less negative, and

c.) explain whether or not the chemical would affect each factor.
